I just started running opendmarc on my mail server, and it informed me this evening that an email message received from LaunchPad failed DMARC. The message came from `<email address hidden>`, so it's Canonical's own domain that is failing DMARC in this case, because although the domain has a DMARC record, it doesn't have an SPF record and launchPad doesn't do DKIM signatures.

Regarding the other issue discussed above, i.e., LaunchPad putting commenters' email addresses in the From: line of the message, this is clearly wrong given the status quo of email security. While I suppose someone could have reasonably claimed otherwise two and a half years ago, that ship has sailed. You can't be generating email messages that violate other domains' DMARC policies, period.

Both of these issues really need to be fixed.
